Russia targets 50.8% youth employment by 2029 with training push
Russia has set a target to increase youth employment over the next few years. By 2029, the country aims to have 50.8% of young people aged 15 to 29 in work. Officials in Omsk believe this goal is achievable with the right support in place.
In 2022, 47% of Russians in this age group held jobs. The figure is expected to rise slightly to 47.6% in 2023. Despite gradual progress, many young job seekers still struggle to enter the workforce.
The main challenge remains a lack of experience. Employers now look for candidates who can show real results and proven skills. Without these, young professionals often find it difficult to secure positions.
Zanna Vorobyova, chief inspector of Omsk's labour oversight agency, sees the 2029 target as realistic. She noted that ongoing support programmes will help young workers gain the necessary experience. Vorobyova also suggested that employers may soon give greater priority to younger applicants.
The push for higher youth employment will depend on continued training and support schemes. If successful, over half of Russia's young people could be working within six years. The focus now lies on bridging the gap between education and practical workplace demands.
